There is light in Nigel's eyes.

"Nigel... are you okay?"

Yeah. I'm sorry to bother you.

Nigel, who smiled like that, was his usual friend.

“Again, I want to be the prince of your dreams.”

He takes his hands off me and holds the sword with both hands.

The blade of the sword was dyed black. Even the evil mind remains unchanged.

The [White Snake] switched directions and burst forward as we watched.

"For that reason... I want to protect you── and Lynch Gi-ham." I wonder if I'm such a pussy? "

“No, I don't think so.”

Because ──that's what Nigel is for.

{What the hell...? I can't believe that power...!? ”

Joel's confused voice.

The [White Snake] is coming. But this time I won't run away. Face it head-on.

Nigel raised his sword wide,

”Hahhhhhhhh!”

Slashes through the [White Snake].

Then, the [White Snake] 's body gradually turned black.

The [White Snake] twisted his body in bitterness, but slowly calmed down.

"It's not── gone."

At the same time, I felt── like the [White Snake] had been reborn from scratch.

──Eventually, the [White Snake], whose body was also stained with black flames, had lost interest in us, and left the scene.

When I saw the flame that was lit in my chest, the color remained white.

Does this mean... that the [White Snake] has been rebuilt so that it no longer has a connection to me?

{I see... that's the power of the Demon King. Far from the gods, was it so powerful that the world would perish if── we misused it? "

Yoel's voice was strangely distracted.

"Nigel... what's a demon king?"

“Yeah, I noticed just before I got here.”

and Nigel move their mouths.

"When I slashed the Demon King, it must have meant that a part of my soul was on this sword." If you think about it, it's probably because of him. "

Indeed, if you look closely at the sword, you can feel the evil power that you have seen.

Where did you see── it, of course, in the basement of the Berkhaim Royal Castle.

With the Demon King in front of us, we felt terrified by this overwhelming power.

"The Demon King has spoken to me many times." Be true to your desires and throw away── what── kind of things. When I heard that voice, my heart was stained with darkness for some reason. "

"That's why you were temporarily trying to choose me over Lynchgi Ham..."

"Yes, but at the same time, this was my heart." I'm sure the Demon King must have amplified it. "

But Nigel── and I continue.

"There's no need to throw anything away. I mean, you should get both. With this power, I── thought I could make it happen. That said, it was a kind of bet to really master the power of the Demon King."

"But we won the bet."

“That's right, this is the best happy ending.”

The [White Snake] begins to swim slowly around us.

It was as if they were blessing us.

Yol──

"... it doesn't make sense to come here and throw up a bluff." Yes, the [White Snake] has been rebuilt. "

Joel continues in a strangely refreshing tone, as if he had given up everything.

"I didn't know humans had people like you." After swallowing everything, the── world is beautiful and beautiful. That's just a fool, but you embodied it. The power of the Demon King was pulled. If you do that, I'll take care of you. "

How about that? Have you reviewed humans a little bit?

I don't know...

To Nigel's words, Joel goes on to say:

{But... if I had met you earlier, something might have changed. I'm already gone.── It's too late for anything. "

If only we had met Joel before this happened──.

That's what I think, but life is only one thing. It was impossible to have such an IF route, but it was── a bit unpleasant.

"Oh, look,── Nigel. your precious things....."

While Nigel and Yol are exchanging words, I say so.

Bags and purses of Lynchghi Ham people floating nearby. Watchtower.

They became particles of light and ascended to heaven.

"I'm sure... we're back to where we came from." Joel's right, the [White Snake] has really been rebuilt. "

"Great...."

Even though Cecily hasn't opened her eyes yet,── I'm holding her hand firmly.

There was nothing left that I thought had fallen to zero once.

"But... how do we get back from here?" Without the power of the goddess, we humans wouldn't have been able to get out of this space..... "

[Rest assured, the rules of this space have changed with the [White Snake] stained with black. Your power will be restored immediately. "

The only concern Yol has dispelled.

"It's gentle on burns, isn't it?" Have you changed your mind? "

Kukuku, did I change my mind?

Joel let out a laugh.

'I told you, it's too late for anything. The threat of the [White Snake] was definitely gone. But you have more evil to deal with, don't you? "

"What's that supposed to mean?──"

Well, this is fine. Either way, the purpose of annihilating the world will be fulfilled. The only thing to spare is that I won't be able to see that moment.── "

At the end of the ominous words, Joel's signs have completely disappeared.

the evil we have to deal with more...?

The purpose of the annihilation of the world will be fulfilled...?

What the hell was that──?

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

At that time.

Nigel roared like a beast and began to suffer.
